cash/barter/trade for/exchange money within the community and we hire work done from within the
community so people still have an income. We are remote so most people stock up on personal
supplies. Nothing has really changed for us. We set up Caballos with a design to ride out these types of
events - pandemics, natural disasters, financial meltdowns.

We are fed up to the back teeth with the fascist rules brought in by the Colombian and most other
governments, and most especially even by one of the local Indian tribes where we live.
There are 0 cases of CV round here, but the people have swallowed the overblown panic fomented by a
very rightwing government to prevent any kind of protest by the people. In the towns many people are
starving.
Although we ourselves live on a lovely farm in the rainforest and grow all the food we need and can
move freely within our own territory, we are sickened at how people are being treated, especially in the
cities, but also down here in the small market towns. People are being suffocated not by the 'virus' but
by the restrictions on movement and normal activities.
We campaign via internet against the lockdown, but of course that is only a drop in the ocean. There is
total polarization everywhere, as I'm sure you all know, between those who believe the 'official version'
of the 'pandemic' and those who severely doubt the whole narrative, from the trumped-up mortality
figures to the global political motives for the whole sorry situation (total control and zombification of
the population). You can see to which group we belong!

We no longer have weekly community suppers. We sometimes see each other out working on the field
and work together (6 feet apart). We talk from a distance.
